Su Jian pursed her lips and took a few small steps forward, when suddenly Zhong Xinxin pushed the little girl away and, swift as lightning, stabbed at Su Jian's neck with a dagger. Su Jian reacted quickly, catching the blade with her hand, blood continuously dripping from her palm to the ground.
Zhong Xinxin seemed to gather strength from nowhere, yanking the dagger back fiercely. Fortunately, at the critical moment, two men from the crowd rushed up and subdued Zhong Xinxin.
Luckily, no lives were lost. The little girl only suffered some superficial neck injuries, whereas Su Jian's hand was more severely injured. Both she and the little girl were promptly taken to the hospital by the police who had arrived in time, and Zhong Xinxin was also apprehended.
Fatefully, the hospital Su Jian was taken to was the one where Zhou Lu worked. She prayed silently in her heart not to encounter Zhou Lu, but inevitably, it was Zhou Lu who treated her wound.
